The demo for Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. will be coming this week for 360 and PS3, and later this month for PC:
Key features of the H.A.W.X demo:

• Co-op enabled for up to 4 players – Jump in/Jump out

• Gain experience points and unlock up to three real, licensed planes in the demo:
o F-16A Fighting Falcon
o SU-35 Super Flanker
o AV-8B Harrier II

• Choose between two different game modes:
o Normal – Default control type
o Expert – Allows full control over the aircraft in “Assistance Off” mode

• Two heart-pounding missions:
o Operation: Off Certification (Training mode)
• Learn the skills of an elite pilot in “Assistance Off” mode and pull extreme maneuvers

o Operation: Glass Hammer (Rio De Janeiro)
• Take flight over GeoEye technology (the world’s best satellite data), and witness Brazil like never before
• Learn to use the Enhanced Reality System in “Assistance On” mode, where your plane’s computer calculates the best interception course for you to follow to attack an enemy, evade a missile or hit a ground target
Check out the press release for all the details, and look for the full version of the game to hit mid-march.

i downloaded this.this morning


good demo,but as usual of late some things bugged the hell out of me

you dont get cockpit view...you get from behind the plane view,which is okay..but i would of liked the option to see from the cockpit,who wouldnt?

and then a little into the first training mission,it tells you to turn off the automatic assistance(which behind the plane look,apparently is)..it then goes quite far away from your plane,look at it sideways on,and ..you have to control the plane that way,avoiding missiles,shooting down drones/enemy planes...it really did take a long time for me to even close to getting used to(actually i f**king hated that view.it was 'nearly' a side scrolling space shoot em up)

the second mission,(the proper mission)is you have to stop an attack on Rio de Janeiro...,you are accompanined by a lot of other planes...but again,i think it expects you to go into this 'assistance off' mode everytime someone fires at you ...even on the normal view i was still twisiting my head round myself trying to figure out if i was the right way up.....eventually,while trying to level my plane with anotehr so my automatic targetting set in,i crashed into a building....i didnt bother loading again


Ace Combat 6..which i guess this is always gonna get compared to,was more fun and a lot easier to get into IMO.

i am sure Tom Clancy fans will disagree
